Antonio Collado Martinez (1956) - Marina en Ocre

Title: Marina in Ocher

School: Contemporary Spanish Abstract School

Author: Antonio Collado Martínez (Balaguer, Lleida, 1956)

Style: Expressive Abstraction

Technique: Oil on canvas

Circle and influences: Work linked to contemporary Spanish expressive abstraction, with possible influences from informalism and material painting. The composition combines geometric and organic forms, gestural strokes and a color range dominated by ochres, earth tones, browns, and whites, evoking a maritime scene of symbolic and abstract character.

Antonio Collado Martínez felt a strong attraction to painting from childhood. In 1973, at only 17 years old, he held his first solo exhibition at the Balaguer Chamber of Commerce gallery. Since then he has regularly exhibited in Spain and in several foreign countries, and his work is present in important public and private collections.

Self-taught artist, his career has evolved from figurative representation toward informalism and, subsequently, toward expressive abstraction. Since 1988 he has also developed works in sculpture, printmaking, and lithography. Throughout his career he has received awards and distinctions on various occasions. He currently resides in Barcelona.

The work represents an abstract sea scene built with broad stains and textures in ochre, earth tones, and browns. In the central area triangular shapes suggest sails of vessels, integrated into a schematic maritime landscape. The use of lines, overlays, and contrasts generates depth and dynamism within a composition of great material force.

The painting is presented framed in a brown wood frame, with stepped mouldings and an inner beige and white passe-partout that enhances the work.
